Titans S Markelle Martin missed all of OTAs and minicamp with a groin injury.

Martin, a sixth-round pick out of Oklahoma State last year, missed his entire rookie season with a knee injury, so he's been watching from the sidelines for over a calendar year. Martin is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, but he faces an uphill battle for a roster spot.

Coach Dirk Koetter confirmed Jameis Winston has a sprained AC joint in his right (throwing) shoulder and is day to day.

A sprained AC joint sent backup QB Ryan Griffin to I.R. over the summer, but his was more severe and came with a 4-6 week timeline. Koetter says Winston's is far more minor, and he could even play Week 7 against the Bills as long as he's able to drive the ball down the field. Winston is unlikely to throw on Wednesday, so we may not have a good feel for his status until later this week.

It's to his throwing side. McCarthy didn't give an exact timetable, but the fact that Rodgers needs surgery almost certainly knocks him out for the season. Brett Hundley will be the Packers' new starter with Joe Callahan behind him.

Spiller has been off and on Kansas City's roster since the preseason; he's now been signed four different times by the Chiefs this year. Spiller's return is an indication Charcandrick West (concussion) will miss Thursday night's game.

Raiders signed ILB Navorro Bowman, formerly of the 49ers, to a one-year, $3 million contract.

He never even made it to Dallas. Still a useful run defender, Bowman will add toughness to a weak Oakland inside linebacker corps. He is a liability in pass coverage, however, and had been losing passing-down snaps before the 49ers released him. The Raiders play on Thursday Night Football this week, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Bowman log significant snaps right away.

Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Monday he is not satisfied with Julio Jones' usage to this point in the season.

"No," said Quinn when asked if he's satisfied with how often Julio is getting the ball. "No, I'm not." Jones has topped 70 yards in three of his last four games, but he has one red-zone target and zero touchdowns on the year. He whipped Dolphins CB Xavien Howard badly on Sunday, yet was only targeted seven times. Jones draws another favorable matchup this week against the Patriots.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Trevor Siemian's shoulder injury is "minor," and that he will likely play Week 7.

It's not surprising after Siemian played through the issue against the Giants, though he underwent a Monday MRI to confirm the nature of the injury. Siemian's play has been in steady decline since a strong start, and he'll be without Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) against the Chargers. Siemian's streamer relevance has come and gone.

NBC Denver reports Emmanuel Sanders has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle, and will miss at least Week 7.

The same is true of fifth-round rookie WR Isaiah McKenzie (ankle). Sanders avoided a fracture, but it sounds like he came away with a high-ankle sprain, which would cost him multiple games. The Broncos have already had their bye, and spend the next three weeks on the road. With Sanders out, the Broncos have zero depth behind Demaryius Thomas. Bennie Fowler is going to be forced into heavy targets.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Vikings plan to activate Teddy Bridgewater (knee) from the PUP list and have him return to practice on Wednesday.

Bridgewater gained practice clearance on Monday, and the 4-2 Vikings aren't going to waste any time as they search for answers under center. Sam Bradford's (knee) status remains murky, and Case Keenum is barely cutting it. Sidelined since last August, Bridgewater is going to need more than three practices to be ready to return, but the Vikings have little to lose by getting the ball rolling as soon as possible.

Kevin Hogan was scarcely better than DeShone Kizer in the Browns' latest dismal loss on Sunday. Jackson also claimed Kizer "learned a lot" by watching Hogan and the game unfold from the sideline. Whomever the Browns start at quarterback in Week 7 will have a nonexistent receiver corps and barely functional running game.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms "all signs" point to Marcus Mariota (hamstring) returning for Monday's game against the Colts.

Longtime Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky first broke the news on Sunday. Mariota is expected to remain confined to the pocket more than usual, limiting his upside. Provided he avoids setbacks against the Colts, Mariota will be an appealing QB1 for Week 7 against the Browns.
